The Priestley Glacier (74°20′S 163°22′E / 74.333°S 163.367°E) is a major valley glacier, about 60 nautical miles (110 km; 69 mi) long, originating at the edge of the Polar Plateau of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The glacier drains southeast between the Deep Freeze Range and Eisenhower Range to enter the northern end of the Nansen Ice Sheet. It was first explored by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and named for Raymond Priestley, a geologist with the Northern Party.[1]
